Undiagnosed / Severe

Special needs can encompass a broad spectrum of conditions – from mild learning delays to more severe or undiagnosed disabilities. For families with children with severe or undiagnosed special needs, Apex PROaupair’s professional au pairs provide much needed support and understanding, as well as specific training and skills that supplement regular visits to doctors and therapists.

What Our Familiesare Saying

Holly

Host Mom in San Francisco

"After working with another agency and experiencing a challenging year with our first au pair, we switched to Apex PROaupair. We are thrilled with our current au pair and feel that only now is our family experiencing the true spirit of the au pair program. Janina is like part of our family and we never would have found her if it weren’t for Apex PROaupair."
